Is Charlotte ever going to get the chance to host a Super Bowl

Hotel space, not to mention the fact that Charlotte generally sucks. Raleigh ftw.

Shitty weather in February and no dome.....

That about covers it.

I would love to have the resources to bring a team to Raleigh... Based on the size it's expected to expand in the upcoming years and the way they rally around the Canes (they even raise hell during the game, WHAT? lol), I think it would be a great place to bring a franchise.

Not the best weather in Feb, which would be fine by me, but I don't make those choices.

Actually a rule in the NFL about ambient temperature in February for the host city...

Yep...something like 50deg average over x amount of days.

Charlotte isn't "good" enough.

Raleigh...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Get back to me when you become an actual city, champ.

That said, the weather will keep the Super Bowl out of most teams' stadiums. I heard some rumblings to change that, but I don't see it ever happening.

Even in March the weather is not good enough for the CEOs & VIPs tootsies.

[Cyclonus]

No

There's no way, because on the barely-in-the-realm-of-possibility chance that the Saints ever make it to the big game, they can't risk a gust of wind or a chill in the air throwing off Brees and their passing game. The Super Bowl will be played in a dome or on the equator for the rest of time.

It's funny that Jerry Richardson originally planned a stadium about 15,000 smaller and was convinced that he needed to upgrade in order to have a shot at a Super Bowl and still doesn't have a shot...

Of course he sells it out anyway, so it's a win/win...

Don't give me any of that Charlotte isn't good enough or anything about the City. It has to do with tempreture and hotels. New Orleans still gets Super Bowls and ever since Katrina that place is like the Toilet of America.
